Mace: The Majestic Spice of Yor
Mace is a delicate and aromatic spice derived from the outer layer of the nutmeg seed, Myristica fragrans. Historically heralded by ancient civilizations, mace was an emblem of luxury and opulence. From the spice routes to the royal kitchens, mace has traveled the world and made its mark in a myriad of cuisines.
Exuding a warm, spicy aroma and a flavor that is subtly more intense than nutmeg, mace offers a slightly sharper taste that is reminiscent of a mix between pepper and cinnamon. It is commonly used in savory dishes, desserts, and beverages to impart its unique zest.
